I noticed today that with openafs 1.4.10 on suse linux that two very odd
things are happening. First, bash tab completion takes many seconds to
complete a path to an item in AFS. Second, emacs keeps hanging when any
buffer has a file residing in AFS open. The hang is global to emacs --
but not to the computer.

Any thoughts?


The bash bit reminds me of an effect I observed even in a local fs. I had a
directory inode that had grown to an absurd size (several dozen MB I
believe) and the system took forever reading it.


This could be something. There may be some paths that take an inordinate
amount of time to display with ls or have tab completion work over. I
assumed it was always related to afs because there were afs paths symlinked
in the local directory. How did you fix it ? an fsck?

I fear not ;/

I move'd the offending dir away, created a new one and move'd all the
contents from the "backup" into the new one.

So this is not how you fix your broken /var in production.

It would be interesting to know if fsck actually does fix that sort of
thing.

Does ls -l indicate that you indeed face this problem?

Cheers,
Felix
